Actors Theatre presents A Christmas StoryIn this Christmas adventure like no other, young Ralphie Parker's fervent campaign for a Red Ryder BB gun unfolds despite a chorus of worries ("You'll shoot your eye out!") and amid seasonal shenanigans involving a leg lamp, a bunny suit and a tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole. Relive a family tradition or start one anew with this stage adaption of the beloved film, inspired by Jean Shepherd's classic American stories about Christmas—and growing up—in the Midwest. Actors Theatre of Louisville 316 W. Main St. Louisville, KY 40202 http://www.actorstheatre.org/play_story.htm 502-584-1205 Tickets start at $20 Get the Led Out: The American Led Zeppelin Is it rock and roll sacrilege to suggest that Get The Led Out is better at playing Zeppelin than Zeppelin? Not for the Philadelphia Inquirer, which overheard excited fans saying just that at a recent concert. Dubbed The American Led Zeppelin, these heavy metal vets put on a show that will transform Whitney Hall into a hard rock temple. With their meticulous musicianship and all-out electric showmanship, Get The Led Out is both an amazing tribute to a legendary band and a phenomenal experience in its own right.

Where? Manslick Rollerdrome located at 721 Gagel Ave. Louisville, KY 40216. Doors open at 6:00 with the bout starting at 7:00. Sponsored by BBC serving BBC Heartbreaker Ale. Also by Dr. Hurm, DMD keeping your favorite roller girls teeth covered and protected. Come share the fun in this family friendly event. What is roller derby? Roller derby consists of two teams of five skaters each on the track. Each team has one scoring player called a jammer, who starts at the back and wears a star on her helmet. The rest of the skaters are called blockers, and they form a pack. The blockers get a head start on the jammers when the first whistle is blown; the jammers start sprinting at the sound of the second whistle. The jammers have to get through the pack and back around another lap before they can start scoring. On their second and future trips through, they get a point for every opponent they pass. Everyone else tries to stop the other teams' jammer from passing while helping their own jammer through. The team with the most points at the end of the bout wins. What this means for you? Fun, action and excitement! All tickets and seating are general admission. Seats available on first come, first serve basis. Tickets are non refundable!!
